EDGY ASK MEME: 24, 23, 10, 9
answering for moratorium cast in general bc these r some tasty questions (warning: it gets so long . i love to yap)
9) Do you have a specific lyric or quote which you associate with your OC? i JUST answered this one today on discord teehee .
mor: lyric: literally all of me and the devil. sorry. cheating. just all of it. quote: âa mother is like god in the eyes of a childâ (the crow) or "the people in the mirrors. they see it all! what's really going on." (silent hill origins)
cernunnos: lyric: âcall me a seed of evil, but whats that mean if im convinced within your mind?â (cant be erased by jt machinima) quote: âthe only me is me. are you sure the only you is you?â (PT) or âthey say when you meet somebody that looks just like you, you die.â (i forget the source)
fenris: lyric: âthe dreams in which im dying are the best ive ever hadâ (mad world tears for fears) or âcould these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal manâ (disorder by joy division) quote: "i guess i really don't care if it's dangerous or not. iâm going to town either way." (silent hill 2) or "i don't like mirrors. it's almost like there's an unknown world right on the other side, and the person staring at me isn't really me, just an imitator." (silent hill 3) 10) What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC? i think an AU where fenris and cernunnos switch places â so fenris being a copy of cernunnos and cernunnos being a reality bender â would be pretty interesting. i've thought about it occasionally, and things would definitely be similar but play out completely differently. for example port rosnu would have been the result of unchecked anger and trauma rather than a desperate need to forget and repress trauma, and fenris would probably be a copy of what cernunnos perceives as the "weak" parts of themself rather than the "bad", which they would embrace rather than reject as a defense mechanism, and his motives for bringing cernunnos back to port rosnu would be completely different. but going into a swap au between these two would be going down a HUUUGGEE rabbit hole that i won't go into here LOL. but its interesting, if i had the time and people were interested i'd definitely go further into it ............... also a bendy and the ink machine au 23) What emotion is the hardest for your OC to process? How about express? for fenris, his is grief, especially the idea of moving through it. facing his grief is terrifying because the memories he has are too painful and the idea of letting go means acknowledging they exist. mor's creation wasn't really to escape his grief, but it became a fairly convenient way to do it. his way of expressing that grief is . well . how his life has basically become as frozen as he is in the night his parents died. because of his inability to face his grief, he can never move forward in his life. fenris cannot enjoy the present when he's stuck in the past, and because of that, he can't change. grief is the epitome of change, as so often, grief is when something disappears from your life, and part of the process of moving past it is accepting the change and adapting to it. this is his entire character arc. there's a reason why his tarot card is the death card, both reversed and upright cernunnos' hardest emotion to process is fear. it makes them feel weak, so they try to be feared. they're like a cornered animal biting and clawing to stay safe, and it's not a coincidence the mask they wear is that of a prey animal. it's intimidating, they wear it to be less human, since twisting the innocence often ascribed to a deer into something scary and monsterous is a common horror trope, but it's still a prey animal, it had to die for cernunnos to have its skull in the first place. something hunted it, cornered it, and killed it, something cernunnos tries to imitate but does a poor job at it despite what it may seem. lastly mor's is love. she feels incredibly guilty for the abuse fenris' mother inflicted on him. she wants to atone for it because she genuinely does love him. but mor isn't human. she's what he wished his mother was, but she's also what he felt she was, terrifying, controlling, and someone who continues to haunt his life years after she died. she's like a monster in the closet for him. mor's form of love is kind of twisted as a result, she loves fenris, she wants to do good by him and show him the love she feels he deserves, but she's also profoundly selfish. she loves him, but in a way that leads her to make the exact same mistakes that his mother did that she swore not to repeat 24) What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?
this is a very interesting question to answer for moratorium, and the characters in it in general. i've always said that a key part of fenris' life (listing him specifically, since he's the source of literally everything that happens in moratorium) is that everything that happens was inevitable. even if things didn't happen the way they did, he would ultimately end up right back where it ends in some way or another. say fenris did not kill his parents at 15 in a house fire he accidentally caused. say the fight that triggered it never happened. say they lived and their lives continued as normal. eventually, he would've snapped. fenris could never fully relate or be indoctrinated into his parent's radical, conservative beliefs on society, and the amount of neglect and abuse he experienced never would have changed, because his parents were incapable of change. his mother always believed she was right, and constantly fabricated her own reality to have more and more reasons to convince herself that her worldview is right and that she can never be wrong in anything she does. and his father had no backbone to argue despite the hints that he too was miserable and followed along with whatever she wanted. their home was an echo chamber of resentment, a family of people constantly pushing and pulling at each other and bound together by the very idea that they're family, so they have to stand by each other even as they do nothing but hurt each other, and they're all so bound up by their bitterness that they repress that none of them will ever stick up for themselves and explicitly say something needs to change. so, eventually he would have snapped and probably pulled the trigger himself, so to speak. fenris probably would've ended up killing his parents, and this time it would have been intentional, or one of them probably would've ended up killing the other. their lives were one big boiling pot constantly waiting for the time it inevitably boiled over and once it did it would never have been pretty. so, as much as the idea of alternative paths that could potentially change their lives is interesting, the only change that could possibly happen is his parents not dying on the night they did, meaning he was never orphaned and never got the chance to escape the echo chamber and be exposed to the "normal world" that made him realize how abnormal his was. but they would have died eventually. eventually someone was going to snap because the way they were living their lives was unsustainable. thing's would have happened the same way, just differently
#a swap au would be pretty fun to explore but thats like . writing a whole as different story kind of#just a lot of work#but maybe i'd draw it#i wish these ask games included a tarot question i have so much i could say about their assigned tarots and how they relate to them#also this post kept breaking . almost lost everything i wrote#oc: fenris sørvik#oc: cernunnos#oc: mor#story: MORATORIUM#asks#ask game#not art

Fenris doesnât remember how many times heâs died now. Heâll die again, and heâll come back again, and in the final second before everything goes black, in response to the primal fear of the threat that every death could be his last, one thought is racing through his mind, like a desperate plea; "I donât want to die." ... Then he wakes up somewhere else, hearing a familiar voice.
aka: fenris gets to see his mom again after 5 years.
(warning for implied past abuse; google docs version here)
#funnily enough i was hoping to get fenris and cernunnos' meeting done first and post that#but then i like. got a vision.#and yes the title is a walking dead reference#it describes his willful ignorance delightfully well#for clarification btw: red underlined text designates reality#i like using colored text#hopefully this isn't ass i feel like ive proof read it to death LMAO#i WAS gonna draw something to go with this but it wasn't clicking at all. maybe later#if i do ill edit this post and attach it#oc: fenris sørvik#oc: mor#story: MORATORIUM#writing

here are the answers for how mor feels about cernunnos and how cernunnos and fenris feel about mor. warning for like . BAD mommy issues . it is genuinely dire
MOR ABOUT CERNUNNOS
What's their best trait?
"Their stubbornness, instability, and hatred towards Fenris blinds them to almost anything else. They're aware I'm planning something, but they don't know what, and thankfully, their... less then sane mind distracts them from thinking too much about it. They're too focused on whats ahead of them to think about the larger picture, and that makes it easier for them to help me with my goals, without them ever realizing it."
What's their worst trait?
"Cernunnos plays with their food too much to be reliable. I'm almost certain that, when the time comes, they won't be able to kill Fenris. Commitment has never been their strong suit, and I'm confident their feelings about him are too complicated to ever follow through. They'd just stall. That's why I can't trust them to get the job done, and it falls upon me yet again to fix everything. Like every good mother is supposed to."
Are they a good person?
"I think they're a sad, lonely, broken little thing, but they aren't trying to be a anything else."
Do you really know them?
"Cernunnos will argue that I know nothing about them, but they're sorely mistaken. I am their mother, even if I didn't make them. I know how small and weak they really are, despite that big, tough act they put on."
What are they to you?
"They remind me of my son, and I care about them for that. I consider them my child, but they aren't Fenris. Just a lesser shadow of him. They're useful for helping me achieve my goals, but beyond that, I have little use for them."
What are you to them?
"I'm their mother. For better or worse. To them, it's for the worst."
What animal do they most remind you of?
"A prey animal that camouflages as a predator."
Are they your type?
"No."
What's their greatest fear?
"Cernunnos fears being vulnerable, and being seen as anything but a monster. They work hard to be feared instead, because it's the only way they can have control and feel safe, but it's all just an act, and a poor one at that. The second someone realizes that, the weaker it makes them feel, and there's nothing more terrifying to them than being sympathized with."
What's your best memory with them? Worst?
"I don't have much attachment to my memories with them, and I don't have many positive or negative feelings about our memories together. I suppose our time when we were on better terms was nice, but it made me miss Fenris even more."
How long have you known each other?
"I knew of them before they knew of me. I first became aware of them the second they were born, but they only met me when I decided it was time to reveal myself to them. It didn't go well."
How has your relationship changed recently?
"When we first met, all they could see in me was the pain my previous incarnation caused them. After a while, though, I got through to them, and I became a pillar of stability and someone to talk to. But, unfortunately, that couldn't last. Cernunnos can't know about my plan, so I left them. It's not a favorable outcome, but it's what had to be done. They hate me, more than ever, and I'll admit, sometimes it hurts. But it had to be done."
Are they a good leader?
"No. They're far too unstable and impulsive, and they only think of themself. Anyone who chooses to follow them would end up getting nowhere, or follow them off a cliff."
ââââââ
CERNUNNOS ABOUT MOR
What's their best trait?
"NOTHING, THERE'S NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THAT OLD HAG, NOTHING AT ALL. THE BEST THING SHE COULD DO IS BURN LIKE THAT OTHER HAG DID ALL THOSE YEARS AGO."
What's their worst trait?
"EVERYTHING. SHE'S A MONSTER, WORSE THAN ME, AND IF I COULD BURY HER BACK IN THE GROUND I WOULD."
Are they a good person?
"NO, AND SHE NEVER HAS BEEN. SHE LIES, IT'S ALL SHE DOES, SHE LIED TO ME, PUT ON A PRETTY FACE AND PRETENDED TO CARE, BUT ALL SHE CARES ABOUT IS HERSELF AND THAT BASTARD KID OF HERS."
Do you really know them?
"OH, I KNOW ENOUGH, I KNOW SHE'S ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS. I KNOW SHE'S A TWO-FACED LIAR, AND I WON'T BE TRICKED AGAIN."
What are they to you?
"SHE'S NOT MY MOTHER, SHE ACTS LIKE SHE IS, BUT ALL SHE IS TO ME IS A TREACHEROUS SNAKE, AND IF I EVER SEE HER AGAIN, IT'LL BE THE LAST THING SHE EVER SEES."
What are you to them?
"I'M JUST THE TOY SHE PLAYED WITH UNTIL A BETTER ONE CAME ALONG."
What animal do they most remind you of?
"A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. A SPIDER SPINNING A WEB. A VULTURE CIRCLING A KILL."
Are they your type?
"FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. I HOPE YOU DIE."
What's their greatest fear?
"LOSING HER KID AGAIN. SHE SHOULD WORRY, I INTEND TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN."
What's your best memory with them? Worst?
"WE DON'T HAVE HAPPY MEMORIES. THOSE WERE RUINED WHEN SHE TURNED HER BACK ON ME. ALL I HAVE IS MEMORIES OF A WOMAN WHO RUINED ME, WHO LIES AND USES PEOPLE UNTIL THEY HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE."
How long have you known each other?
"SHE NEVER KNEW ME AT ALL."
How has your relationship changed recently?
"SHE LEFT ME THE SECOND SHE GOT WHAT SHE WANTED, AND I'LL NEVER FORGIVE HER. SHE TRICKED ME INTO LETTING HER GET CLOSE, MAKING ME BELIEVE SHE WAS DIFFERENT, AND I'LL NEVER MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN. IF I SEE HER AGAIN, SHE'S DEAD."
Are they a good leader?
"IF SHE'S AS GOOD A LEADER AS SHE WAS A MOTHER, THEN IT'S BETTER TO KILL YOURSELF RATHER THAN LET YOURSELF FALL FOR HER TRICKS."
ââââââ
FENRIS ABOUT MOR
What's their best trait?
"She's... nicer than she was before. She's more loving, she holds me and comforts me more, she listens to me, she's patient. I finally feel like she actually cares and it's not just about herself anymore."
What's their worst trait?
"I...I don't knowâit's complicatedâshe wasn't perfect, but I wasn't an easy kid to raise eitherâso she made mistakes, but it isn't her fault, everything's fine now and it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Nothing. Nothing at all." (translation: she fucked him up SO SO BADLY but he blames himself for just not being good enough. he copes with the fact his mom was just not a good person and not a good mom by saying he wasn't a good kid either, basically absolving her of guilt because if he doesn't it means his life actually is super fucked up and not normal.)
Are they a good person?
"..."
Do you really know them?
"Sometimes I feel like I do, sometimes I feel like there's still some distance between us... which hurts. But I'm fine."
What are they to you?
"She's myâ my mother. I love her, she's there for me more than she ever was before, and I know she isn't my real mother. She died five years ago, but... she's finally what I wanted her to be. So I don't care if it's all a trick, and I don't care if I'm a fool. She's my mother, she's the only person who cares about me, and I just... want her to be that, for a little while, as long as she can be." (translation: she is his abuser but she was also the parent he was closest to. she loved him, but she made it about herself a lot, and it made him feel invisible and like he was constantly fighting to be seen. she made it very difficult for him to form stable relationships when he's always afraid one wrong move will make him worthless in their eyes, just like how he felt with his mom, and he subconsciously knows she abused him, but he still loves and misses her, and mor's what he wanted her to be all along, so he lets himself be ignorant and pretend he doesn't know that there's definitely something wrong about her)
What are you to them?
"I'm her son. She loves me, and she just wants to keep me safe the best she can." (translation: he has no idea. sometimes he feels like he's just a way to make her feel better about herself. right now, with mor, he doesn't know. he hopes it's positive though.)
What animal do they most remind you of?
"I guess... a bird?"
Are they your type?
"That's. My mom?"
What's their greatest fear?
"Losing me again."
What's your best memory with them? Worst?
"There was a time whereâI think I was 13âshe was leaving the house with my dad, and they'd be gone for a few hours. I don't know what it was, but I didn't want to be alone that day, so I kind of just... grabbed her and begged her not to leave. I don't know what came over me, and I was terrified she was going to be angry, but she stayed. My dad left alone, so it was just us for the day. It was nice. We spent time together, and we enjoyed it. I didn't try it again, I was afraid that if I did, it'd turn out... bad... and it would ruin that happy memory, so I didn't risk it. But it was nice. Then she died."
How long have you known each other?
"The first half of my life, then she died. Now she's back."
How has your relationship changed recently?
"She apologized to me. For everything she did to me when she was alive. It was the first thing she did, and she finally accepts me for... me. I just want it to last."
Are they a good leader?
"Uh, wellâ She is... my mother. So. I don't know. Uhm. No comment."
a while back, i did the oc duo ask game in my friend discord server, so i thought iâd post them here since the answers are interesting and gives a better look into the moratorium crews dynamics and characterization . enjoy
CERNUNNOS ABOUT FENRIS
What's their best trait?
"HIS ABILITY TO DIE."
What's their worst trait?
âDO YOU WANT ME TO BE HERE FOR HOURS? BECAUSE I'D LOVE TO GO DOWN THE LIST, BUT I HAVE THINGS TO DO. SO LETS JUST KEEP IT AT THIS; HIS INABILITY TO DIE."
Are they a good person?
"HA. HAHA. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU'RE ASKING ME THAT? LOOK IN THE MIRROR ONCE AND A WHILE, IF THE PERSON LOOKING BACK AT YOU IS ME, THEN CHANCES ARE YOU'RE THE REAL MONSTER."
Do you really know them?
"BETTER THAN HE KNOWS HIMSELF, I'LL TELL YOU THAT."
What are they to you?
"A REMINDER OF MY PERSISTENT TORMENT." (translation: âPossibly the only person who could ever understand me, but he created me out of loathing of the idea of me, wanting me dead but forcing me to live anyway. That first part is therefore muddled by bitterness and I refuse to ever admit it.â
What are you to them?
"BY DEFINITION? A SHADOW. IN REALITY? HIS WORST NIGHTMARE."
What animal do they most remind you of?
"A SHITTY LITTLE COCKROACH WHO GOT RUN OVER AND IS DRAGGING ITS GUTS ALONG THE ROAD TOO STUBBORN TO LAY DOWN AND ROT."
Are they your type?
"OH, YOU THINK YOUâRE FUNNY, DONâT YOU."
What's their greatest fear?
"ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? LOOK AROUND; LOOK AT ME! THE FEAR IS THE LIE. THE FEAR IS THE TRUTH OF EXISTING IN A WORLD SURROUNDED BY SHIT HE NEEDS TO DO. HIS LAZY ASS WOULD RATHER RUIN LIVES THAN FACE THE FACT HIS LIFE IS SAD AND PATHETIC AND THAT HE MADE IT THAT WAY."
What's your best memory with them? Worst?
"MY BEST MEMORY WAS GUTTING HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME. MY WORST IS EVERYTHING ELSE."
How long have you known each other?
"A LONG, LONG TIME. LONGER THAN I'VE EVEN BEEN A PERSON. I'VE EXISTED IN THAT MORONS BRAIN SINCE THE FIRST MOMENT HE EVER HATED HIMSELF, SINCE HIS FIRST BAD MEMORY. I WAS JUST THE FIRST TO REALIZE IT."
How has your relationship changed recently?
"CHANGED? NOTHING'S CHANGED. I'M SURE ANY MINUTE NOW HE'LL FIRE THAT LAST SHOT INTO HIS THICK SKULL, AND IF NOT I'LL DO IT MYSELF. AFTER I'VE HAD SOME FUN."
Are they a good leader?
"OH SURE. IF YOU NEED A GUIDE ON HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A SAD AND PATHETIC LITTLE EXISTENCE, OR NOT LIVE A LIFE AT ALL. HE WOULD BE A GREAT TEACHER IF YOU WANT AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO BE A TERRIBLE PERSON."
ââââââ
FENRIS ABOUT CERNUNNOS
What's their best trait?
"Do I have to answer that?"
What's their worst trait?
"I don't like anything of what I see in them." (translation: "I don't like that they remind me of myself.")
Are they a good person?
"NoâI mean, I don't know? No. No they aren't." (translation: âI cannot answer this question truthfully because I doubt if Iâm a good person, and if they are me and are bad, then I donât know what that says about me. Maybe they are better than I am, because they chose a way to live. I didnât.â)
Do you really know them?
"...No, but they get very predictable at some point."
What are they to you?
"An accident." (translation: âAn ugly reminder of parts of myself I hate, that I try to pretend doesnât exist, but Cernunnosâ existence is a rather direct reminder of it. To cope with that I assign cernunnos the role of the monster, despite what that says about me in return, one whoâs existence is a mistake, because if they are a mistake and accident then they could not possibly reflect on me, and I have to kill them.â âŚwhich is exactly why he canât.)
What are you to them?
"An easy scapegoat for all of their problems, I guess."
What animal do they most remind you of?
"To me, they are an animal."
Are they your type?
"I... what?â
What's their greatest fear?
"I guess... living? But they're based on me, so... we'd probably fear the same things."
What's your best memory with them? Worst?
"...I don't think I have any good memories with them. When we met was probably the worst. When they killed me is the second option.â
How long have you known each other?
"I couldn't tell you." (translation: âCernunnos told me they existed long before they had a body, and they were only made real because of my self hatred that has existed my whole life. I donât know if we have known each other forever, or from the moment they first showed up in my dreams.â)
How has your relationship changed recently?
"I'm not as scared of them as I used to be. The tricks got old the second I stopped caring."
Are they a good leader?
"...No. I think theyâd try, to prove a point, but fail.â
ââââââ
MOR ABOUT FENRIS
What's their best trait?
"Oh, what isnât? Heâs wonderful, really. Iâm so proud that he exists at all.â
What's their worst trait?
"Hmm. I do wish he wouldnât push me away. He needs me, after all, he just doesnât like to admit it sometimes.â
Are they a good person?
âHmph. The need to push moral definitions onto people is such a tediously useless endeavor. Heâs doing his best, he just doesnât know what that really means, and so he makes countless mistakes that really, get him nowhere. Thankfully, I know whats best. For him and us.â
Do you really know them?
"Very much so! Iâm his mother, I made and raised him, nobody knows him better than me, which is why I know what is best for him, because he doesnât."
What are they to you?
"Fenris is my son, my greatest joy and achievement. I love him very, very much.â
What are you to them?
"Iâm his mother, canât you tell? Iâm someone he can always rely on for love and support. I wasnât then, but I certainly am now. Iâve worked hard to be that, and I need to keep things that way.â
What animal do they most remind you of?
"Whatever animal he would want to be compared to!"
Are they your type?
"That is my child."
What's their greatest fear?
"Being alone, being the monster Cernunnos claims he is, being abandoned. He fears many things, the poor boy. He fears the way reality is constantly all around him, and how at any moment, he might change something and do something bad. He doesnât want to be hurt, and he doesnât want to be responsible for hurting someone again. But most of all, heâs afraid that itâll be confirmed that he doesnât deserve to exist, that the world would be better off without him, and that heâs been wasting his time trying to live in it. Sad, but sometimes, our greatest fears are of the truth.â
What's your best memory with them? Worst?
"Oh, all of them are dear to me. But the moment he was born is especially close to me. It was the first moment I loved him, and the moment I was so happy to be his mother. But⌠I do regret the night I died. Very much so. I said so many awful things to him, and they were the last things he ever heard from me. I hurt him so deeply that night, and it was the culmination of all of the terrible things Iâd done to him over the years. Sometimes, that guilt overwhelms me. But Iâll be better this time.â
How long have you known each other?
"His whole life, of course! Iâm his mother after all. I wish I didnât have to be separated from him for five years, but weâre together again now. And I wonât let anything take him away from me.â
How has your relationship changed recently?
"Itâs certainly more positive than my previous incarnation. Heâs more willing to open up to me, and comes to me more often for safety. Iâm relieved my efforts have paid off.â
Are they a good leader?
"I would say yes, but I donât think heâd be comfortable, and he shouldnât have to do things he wouldnât be comfortable doing. Besides, I donât trust anyone not to just be using him."
#i could fully delete the 'are they your type' question but its funny to write them going What . What are you saying .#writing how mor feels about cernunnos hurt. like ow. ow. its so fucking cold. i felt so cruel#if you could not tell fenris is more talkative about his feelings about his mom in comparison to his feelings about cernunnos because he's-#sort of constantly trying to find ways to sugarcoat how bad their relationship was. and trying to justify why his mom was fine actually and#his family life was totally normal and not super messed up#also the reason why i type cernunnos' dialogue in full caps isnt because they're screaming or something. that typing style just feels-#right for them#oc: mor#oc: cernunnos#oc: fenris sørvik#story: MORATORIUM#not art

CERNUNNOS ABOUT FENRIS
What's their best trait?
"HIS ABILITY TO DIE."
What's their worst trait?
âDO YOU WANT ME TO BE HERE FOR HOURS? BECAUSE I'D LOVE TO GO DOWN THE LIST, BUT I HAVE THINGS TO DO. SO LETS JUST KEEP IT AT THIS; HIS INABILITY TO DIE."
Are they a good person?
"HA. HAHA. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU'RE ASKING ME THAT? LOOK IN THE MIRROR ONCE AND A WHILE, IF THE PERSON LOOKING BACK AT YOU IS ME, THEN CHANCES ARE YOU'RE THE REAL MONSTER."
Do you really know them?
"BETTER THAN HE KNOWS HIMSELF, I'LL TELL YOU THAT."
What are they to you?
"A REMINDER OF MY PERSISTENT TORMENT." (translation: âPossibly the only person who could ever understand me, but he created me out of loathing of the idea of me, wanting me dead but forcing me to live anyway. That first part is therefore muddled by bitterness and I refuse to ever admit it.â
What are you to them?
"BY DEFINITION? A SHADOW. IN REALITY? HIS WORST NIGHTMARE."
What animal do they most remind you of?
"A SHITTY LITTLE COCKROACH WHO GOT RUN OVER AND IS DRAGGING ITS GUTS ALONG THE ROAD TOO STUBBORN TO LAY DOWN AND ROT."
Are they your type?
"OH, YOU THINK YOUâRE FUNNY, DONâT YOU."
What's their greatest fear?
"ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? LOOK AROUND; LOOK AT ME! THE FEAR IS THE LIE. THE FEAR IS THE TRUTH OF EXISTING IN A WORLD SURROUNDED BY SHIT HE NEEDS TO DO. HIS LAZY ASS WOULD RATHER RUIN LIVES THAN FACE THE FACT HIS LIFE IS SAD AND PATHETIC AND THAT HE MADE IT THAT WAY."
What's your best memory with them? Worst?
"MY BEST MEMORY WAS GUTTING HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME. MY WORST IS EVERYTHING ELSE."
How long have you known each other?
"A LONG, LONG TIME. LONGER THAN I'VE EVEN BEEN A PERSON. I'VE EXISTED IN THAT MORONS BRAIN SINCE THE FIRST MOMENT HE EVER HATED HIMSELF, SINCE HIS FIRST BAD MEMORY. I WAS JUST THE FIRST TO REALIZE IT."
How has your relationship changed recently?
"CHANGED? NOTHING'S CHANGED. I'M SURE ANY MINUTE NOW HE'LL FIRE THAT LAST SHOT INTO HIS THICK SKULL, AND IF NOT I'LL DO IT MYSELF. AFTER I'VE HAD SOME FUN."
Are they a good leader?
"OH SURE. IF YOU NEED A GUIDE ON HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A SAD AND PATHETIC LITTLE EXISTENCE, OR NOT LIVE A LIFE AT ALL. HE WOULD BE A GREAT TEACHER IF YOU WANT AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO BE A TERRIBLE PERSON."
ââââââ
FENRIS ABOUT CERNUNNOS
What's their best trait?
"Do I have to answer that?"
What's their worst trait?
"I don't like anything of what I see in them." (translation: "I don't like that they remind me of myself.")
Are they a good person?
"NoâI mean, I don't know? No. No they aren't." (translation: âI cannot answer this question truthfully because I doubt if Iâm a good person, and if they are me and are bad, then I donât know what that says about me. Maybe they are better than I am, because they chose a way to live. I didnât.â)
Do you really know them?
"...No, but they get very predictable at some point."
What are they to you?
"An accident." (translation: âAn ugly reminder of parts of myself I hate, that I try to pretend doesnât exist, but Cernunnosâ existence is a rather direct reminder of it. To cope with that I assign cernunnos the role of the monster, despite what that says about me in return, one whoâs existence is a mistake, because if they are a mistake and accident then they could not possibly reflect on me, and I have to kill them.â âŚwhich is exactly why he canât.)
What are you to them?
"An easy scapegoat for all of their problems, I guess."
What animal do they most remind you of?
"To me, they are an animal."
Are they your type?
"I... what?â
What's their greatest fear?
"I guess... living? But they're based on me, so... we'd probably fear the same things."
What's your best memory with them? Worst?
"...I don't think I have any good memories with them. When we met was probably the worst. When they killed me is the second option.â
How long have you known each other?
"I couldn't tell you." (translation: âCernunnos told me they existed long before they had a body, and they were only made real because of my self hatred that has existed my whole life. I donât know if we have known each other forever, or from the moment they first showed up in my dreams.â)
How has your relationship changed recently?
"I'm not as scared of them as I used to be. The tricks got old the second I stopped caring."
Are they a good leader?
"...No. I think theyâd try, to prove a point, but fail.â
ââââââ
MOR ABOUT FENRIS
What's their best trait?
"Oh, what isnât? Heâs wonderful, really. Iâm so proud that he exists at all.â
What's their worst trait?
"Hmm. I do wish he wouldnât push me away. He needs me, after all, he just doesnât like to admit it sometimes.â
Are they a good person?
âHmph. The need to push moral definitions onto people is such a tediously useless endeavor. Heâs doing his best, he just doesnât know what that really means, and so he makes countless mistakes that really, get him nowhere. Thankfully, I know whats best. For him and us.â
Do you really know them?
"Very much so! Iâm his mother, I made and raised him, nobody knows him better than me, which is why I know what is best for him, because he doesnât."
What are they to you?
"Fenris is my son, my greatest joy and achievement. I love him very, very much.â
What are you to them?
"Iâm his mother, canât you tell? Iâm someone he can always rely on for love and support. I wasnât then, but I certainly am now. Iâve worked hard to be that, and I need to keep things that way.â
What animal do they most remind you of?
"Whatever animal he would want to be compared to!"
Are they your type?
"That is my child."
What's their greatest fear?
"Being alone, being the monster Cernunnos claims he is, being abandoned. He fears many things, the poor boy. He fears the way reality is constantly all around him, and how at any moment, he might change something and do something bad. He doesnât want to be hurt, and he doesnât want to be responsible for hurting someone again. But most of all, heâs afraid that itâll be confirmed that he doesnât deserve to exist, that the world would be better off without him, and that heâs been wasting his time trying to live in it. Sad, but sometimes, our greatest fears are of the truth.â
What's your best memory with them? Worst?
"Oh, all of them are dear to me. But the moment he was born is especially close to me. It was the first moment I loved him, and the moment I was so happy to be his mother. But⌠I do regret the night I died. Very much so. I said so many awful things to him, and they were the last things he ever heard from me. I hurt him so deeply that night, and it was the culmination of all of the terrible things Iâd done to him over the years. Sometimes, that guilt overwhelms me. But Iâll be better this time.â
How long have you known each other?
"His whole life, of course! Iâm his mother after all. I wish I didnât have to be separated from him for five years, but weâre together again now. And I wonât let anything take him away from me.â
How has your relationship changed recently?
"Itâs certainly more positive than my previous incarnation. Heâs more willing to open up to me, and comes to me more often for safety. Iâm relieved my efforts have paid off.â
Are they a good leader?
"I would say yes, but I donât think heâd be comfortable, and he shouldnât have to do things he wouldnât be comfortable doing. Besides, I donât trust anyone not to just be using him."
#had to add fucking Translations for fenris and cernunnosâ answers because neither of these fuckers can answer a question truthfully#ESPECIALLY fenris . brother can only speak in half truths#cernunnos is much more blunt and to the point#they wear their feelings on their sleeve. but even they avoid the truth sometimes#a reminder fenris and cernunnos are direct parallels of each other#they are both avoiding confronting their feelings#they blame each other for their problems to avoid taking responsibility for the way they are#cernunnos looovvvess to rip into fenris for avoiding his problems and always taking the easy way out#but their whole murder suicide plan is literally doing the exact same thing#choosing to just kill him and kill themselves instead of working to be better#anyway. they make me crazy#mor does too. i hope all her answers read as condescending as theyre meant to#mor loves her kid but she doesnât . see him as a Person really. she sees him as an object she owns#and she still sees him as a child. she cannot see him as a grown ass man capable of his own decisions#not even because he was a child the last she saw him shes just like that#ill answer how mor feels about cernunnos and how they feel about her soon . ill just reblog with them#oc: cernunnos#oc: fenris sørvik#oc: mor#story: MORATORIUM#not art
